As usual, Gu Bin asked his secretary to make a pot of good tea, and then lay half-ly on the soft and comfortable boss chair in the office, drinking tea, brushing off his shaking eyes, and trying not to be too comfortable in his little life.
He is only 26 years old this year, and his annual salary has already reached one million. He is also the general manager of the online store company "Dogfud Network", and he is in charge of hundreds of people.
As one of the earliest generation born in the 1990s, Ku Bin has only graduated and entered society less than four years ago. He is undoubtedly outstanding among his peers.
When his college classmates were still competing for middle and low-level management positions in various Internet companies, he served as the general manager of the company.
When his peers were still debating whether to rent an apartment or a single room in Beijing, where land is at a premium, he paid a down payment for an apartment in Beijing.
When his college classmates were still squeezing buses and subways, he drove a BMW 5 Series.
Of course, all this is thanks to the two noble people he met in his life. The first was Zhang Yida, who promoted him as general manager, and the second was Lu Fenghai, who recommended him to take over his position.
When Ku Bin graduated from university in 2012, he started a business with Lu Fenghai.
Later, the entrepreneurial project failed, and Lu Fenghai joined Dogford Network, and Gu Bin, as an old brother, soon followed.
Later, Lu Fenghai became the co-founder and founded Pate.com with Zhang Yida, and the vacant general manager position was advantageous to Ku Bin.
However, although Gu Bin is a little younger, he still has the ability to do things. Under his leadership, Dogford Network has made profits of more than 20 million yuan for two consecutive years.
Ku Bin is very satisfied with his current life. The only uncomfortable thing is that he has not been allocated shares in the company.
In his opinion, if the company operates for another year this year, it will meet the A-share listing conditions of "continuous profits for the past three fiscal years and a cumulative net profit of more than 30 million yuan."
These days, if you can make money quickly, it must be from the big A-share companies!
In his opinion, the U.S. stock market is a bit weak and the supervision is too strict. If you don't have "extraordinary skills", you may not be able to harvest the leeks. Instead, you will be initiated into a class action lawsuit by institutional investors in the U.S. stock market, which will only cause trouble.
He had long heard that Mr. Zhang's Yimin Internet Finance was listed on the market, but Mr. Zhang did not even dare to buy a single share, fearing that the stock price would collapse and the stock price would not go up or down.
"Gu Bin~What are you busy with?"
Zhang Yida suddenly opened the door of Gu Bin's office, walked in and asked with a smile, followed by Zhao Erya.
"What do you want me to do and say so that you can love me~
How many songs do I need to sing before I can capture you~"
Gu Bin was a little panicked. He was watching DouVi and hurriedly closed the playback interface of DouVi.
"Good taste, this song "9277" is very popular recently!"
Zhang Yida looked at the nervous Gu Bin and commented lightly. In fact, he had already cursed in his heart. No one else has the right to play TikTok in the office except Zhang Lan and me!
There was cold sweat oozing out from Gu Bin's forehead. He was playing video games at work, and was caught by the chairman of the company. He didn't dare to imagine the tragic consequences.
After finally becoming a general manager with an annual salary of one million, he doesn't want to lose this golden job.
"Mr. Zhang...I..."
Gu Bin had a sad face and wanted to defend himself but could not find any reasonable excuse.
Gu Bin glanced coldly at the secretary who followed Zhang Yida and Zhao Erya through the door.
The secretary shrank his neck, shook his head slightly, then lowered his head, not daring to meet Gu Bin's cannibalistic eyes.
"Heh~"
Zhang Yida smiled disdainfully. Gu Bin's small gestures naturally did not escape his eyes. He looked at Gu Bin with an increasingly cold gaze, "You still want to show off your official power? I blame the secretary for not informing you in time so that you can prepare in advance to deal with the surprise attack."
examine?"
"Don't dare~"
Gu Bin shook his head, "Mr. Zhang, punish me!"
"If you don't punish me, why should I praise you?"
After Zhang Yida sneered, he waved his hand and asked Gu Bin's secretary to leave first.
After closing the office door, only the three of them were left in the room.
The bodyguard following me today is Qian Li. He is a tall man wearing a black suit and standing with his hands behind his back. He is guarding the door of the office like an iron tower, attracting frequent glances from employees passing by.
Zhang Yida pushed Secretary Gu Bin back and began to lecture again: "Are you satisfied with your current results and want to rest on your laurels?"
The matter of Gu Bin playing TikTok during working hours is actually both big and small.
Zhang Yida is not the kind of person who can't tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes. He happened to meet him today and it was inevitable to give him a few words of instruction. It was impossible to pretend that nothing happened.
After shooing the secretary away, he began to reprimand Gu Bin, which was considered to save him some face, lest his prestige be ruined and it would be difficult to lead the team in the future.
"Look at the 2015 financial report for yourself. What is the business growth rate?"
Zhang Yida kept a cold face and continued to scold: "The net profit in 2014 was 22.6 million, and the net profit in 2015 did not even break through 30 million, only a mere 27.16 million.
What is the growth rate? 20%.
With just this achievement, you are already raising your tail. Fenghai strongly recommended you and I gave you enough trust and authority. Is this how you repay us?
I can make you reach heaven in one step, or I can make you fall to earth in one step.
There are a lot of people out there who want to sit in your position. With just one phone call from me, a headhunting company can recommend dozens of candidate lists to me.
Moreover, all of these people have higher academic qualifications and richer resumes than you..."
Gu Bin felt bitter in his heart and could only lower his head in shame.
After training for a while, Zhang Yida was also tired. He took a clean cup from the coffee table, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it, which relieved the dryness and thirst in his throat.
Zhang Yida lit a cigarette by himself and took two puffs. Looking at Gu Bin who looked ashen and decadent, he thought to himself that it was almost done and a small punishment would be enough.
"Your year-end bonus for 2016 will be regarded as the punishment for this "dereliction of duty"."
After hearing this, Gu Bin felt very distressed on his face and frowned. His basic annual salary was only 500,000, and most of his income came from the year-end bonus, which was 500,000 the year before and 600,000 last year.
Why don’t I just play TikTok? Is the punishment so severe?
However, he only dared to curse a few words in his heart. He didn't dare to show any complaints, let alone talk back. He nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your kindness. I will accept the punishment!"
"If the company's net profit reaches 40 million in 2016, I will cancel the punishment."
Gu Bin, who didn't expect things to turn around, finally regained some vitality on his face and no longer looked so pale.
Zhang Yida shook his head and said: "Next time something like this happens, it won't be so easy."
"Mr. Zhang, I know I made a mistake." Gu Bin said very solemnly: "I promise not to do it again. If there is a next time, I will leave my job without you having to tell me."
Zhang Yida is quite satisfied with his statement. Young people will inevitably become complacent and slack off if they have some achievements.
Dogford Network is one of the companies that Zhang Yida pays the least attention to, and he will not come to the company for a long time to have an on-site visit.
I occasionally deal with the work emails submitted by Kubin, and look at the company's operating reports and financial statements.
If this has been going on for a long time, it is only normal for Gu Bin, who has great power, to do some outrageous things.
Gu Bin still has basic abilities and has made no major mistakes. Changing people rashly may cause turmoil to the company.
But someone must restrain his power, otherwise it will inevitably end up being a big problem if he continues like this.
"This is Miss Zhao Erya. He will be the deputy general manager of the company next."
Zhang Yida began to introduce Zhao Erya who was sitting next to him.
Gu Bin naturally recognized Zhao Erya and knew that she was the "quasi-proprietress".
But he also had some doubts. Hasn't the boss lady always worked at Pate.com? How could she be transferred to Dogfud Network, a company that Zhang Yida paid the least attention to?
Could it be that he has been relegated to the sidelines? Or is he here to share his power?
With many questions in mind, Gu Bin bowed slightly to Zhao Erya, "Please give me more advice from Mr. Zhao in the future."
"I don't dare to take it!" Zhao Erya waved her hand, "My work experience is far less rich than Mr. Gu, and I will need more support from you in the future!"
"Mr. Zhao, if you have anything to do in the future, just give me your instructions." Gu Bin was very afraid of the wind blowing from his pillow, so he kept his posture very low.
"Okay!" Zhang Yida interrupted, "From now on, you two will each be responsible for a share of affairs. Gu Bin, the basic e-commerce business you are responsible for remains unchanged. Mr. Zhao has other arrangements."
Gu Bin breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he wasn't here to divide his power. Otherwise, if the boss's wife wanted to seize power, he would really have to sit back and wait for death.
"Besides selling dog food of Dogford brand, what other products are you selling now?" Zhang Yida asked Gu Bin.
"We only sell Dog Food brand dog food, and the Taobao store responsible for its sales has reached the Gold Crown level."
Gu Bin paused and then said: "In view of the company's growing reputation, we successively added other pet product categories at the beginning of 2015, including pet clothing, toys, nutritional products, medicines, etc.
Because Mr. Zhang from Chengcheng only produces dog food, we purchase products such as pet clothing and toys from other manufacturers.
Currently, these products are sold in other newly opened Taobao stores, which do not contribute much income. Our main business is Dog Food brand dog food.
The first Dogford Taobao store opened only sold Dogford brand dog food, ensuring the brand's specificity and purity..."
After hearing this, Zhang Yida commented: “The main revenue must come from Dogfud brand dog food, because currently, except for us, no other online e-commerce company has been authorized to cooperate.
Except for fake and shoddy products, Dogford Network has no competitors in the sales of this product."
Gu Bin nodded, to put it bluntly, it was your father who gave us all the online sales rights of Dogford brand dog food. He is his own son, I understand!
"Other products are not so good. There are many competitors, right? There must be more than one e-commerce company selling the same brand of pet products, right?"
"Yes!" Gu Bin nodded, "Mr. Zhang, your analysis is very correct. Therefore, when we sell these products, we will inevitably encounter many competitors. It is normal to have a price war. This also limits the increase in our operating profits.
One point.
In addition, the purchase price is far less affordable than Mr. Zhang’s.”
Zhao Erya, who was sitting on the sidelines, also understood: Dogford Network Company is the dog food factory of Dogford in Chengdu, giving the only online sales authorization and favorable purchase prices...
"Business growth is weak, there is a reason why you don't want to make progress."
Gu Bin's face darkened, and he secretly said, Mr. Zhang, can you please stop mentioning this matter? Can't I change it?
Zhang Yida then said slowly: "The main reason is that the dividend period of traditional e-commerce has passed. To seek development, we must find new paths."
"A new path?" Gu Bin chewed on this sentence repeatedly.
"Yes, a new form of e-commerce emerged during the Spring Festival this year - live streaming e-commerce.
With the upgrade of live broadcast technology brought about by the maturity of AR and VR technology, I judge that live broadcast e-commerce will become a new outlet."
Zhang Yida pointed at Zhao Erya again, "Mr. Zhao will be responsible for the establishment of M organization of Dogfud Network."
"Live streaming e-commerce? How can this dog food be sold through live streaming?
Ask the anchor to perform and eat dog food?"
"Yes!" Zhang Yida nodded.
Gu Bin: "..."
Zhao Erya also rolled her eyes at Zhang Yida, please be more serious.
